What is PMO 2.0?

Across the world, corporations and private and public agencies are recognizing a growing need for a business management center of excellence as a key element of the organization. PMO 2.0 is the term we developed to describe this emerging trend in the realm of business integration and how the traditional role PMO is being transformed to fulfill it.

As the speed and complexity of modern business steadily accelerates, a centralized point for business coordination, collaboration, and information is necessary to address the challenges of such a dynamic operating environment. New and existing PMO's are evolving into full-service business management centers, incorporating functions such as strategic planning and financial management, product and service management, process ownership and automation, and integrated work and workforce management into their scope of operation. Whether operating across the enterprise to improve business alignment, or at a departmental level to facilitate integrated IT management, the PMO 2.0 phenomenon is here to stay.

Planview is at the forefront of PMO 2.0, providing thought leadership, best practices, and supporting applications. We believe that a highly integrated business management environment which enables the ability to understand and respond to total demand, manage assets, resources and financial capacities, and monitor and control the benefit of the product and service portfolio by clearly assessing their costs relative to business value is the most effective means of maximizing organizational efficiency. A dedicated center of excellence directed to these functions is a vital component to maturing business management competencies and achieve such a result.

We invite you to take advantage of the many PMO 2.0 resources we offer, including white papers, webcasts, regional leadership forums, and the Enterprise Navigator blog to further your own business integration initiative.
